Thrown into Netball

Yesterday at The University of Buckingham it was the sports fair. There I was able to sign up to the sports that I wanted to go to. After doing a lap around the hall I was very interested in the Pilates, Yoga and Zumba that was happening at the University. I was ecstatic to see netball there, even though my only experience with playing netball was when I was 10 in Primary School, it was something I was very interested in signing up to.

The first session was tonight and after a nervous start of not knowing where to throw the ball and remembering to not move when holding the ball it turned into a really good evening. I had forgotten how much I actually enjoyed netball, especially after months of not doing any type of sport, it was exhilarating to get back into it. Many exercises were given to us to do and I have to admit I struggled with a lot of them; my hand eye coordination is not what it used to be. It really was an enjoyable evening and exciting to meet new people and make more friends.

 

Even though I came out as red as a beetroot, completely out of breath and my legs were wobbling from the amount of running I did, I was also extremely happy with myself. I always find it funny how after exercise I feel so healthy and good about myself. Yes, I probably burnt off about 200 calories - time to go back and have some food.
